Dr. Guoying “Jenny” Ma works in the lab of Dr. Penelope Perkins-Veazie. Ma researches postharvest life and phytochemicals (like antioxidants, anthocyanins, chlorophyll, sugars and organic acids) of different varieties of blackberry, raspberry, strawberry, watermelon, tomato, green bean and leafy greens. She helps evaluate the quality, flavor and nutrient value of the fruits and vegetables. Ma is particularly interested in researching the areas of quality and nutritional value of fruit and vegetable crops.
